Chosen solution

From the menu bar: Tools -> Options -> General. There set your home page preferences.

Odd that your home page is set to the home page for Nginx, a webserver. Is your antivirus program up-to-date?

Hi,

Please try this: Tools (or Alt + T) > Options > General and beside Home Page delete any entries and type in msn.com.

lI know how to change internet options, but msn.com is shown. I worked on a help line for 6 or more years and am familiar with some things but this has me going crazy. My antivirus and malware are up to date. I use Norton. I would appreciate any help you can give me. This has happed several times in the past but when I turn it off...that seemed to correct it. Not this time. We use Comcast.

There were no fixes for my question. the first thing I did was internet options. Then I tried to find out what nginx was ...that was no help. I also uninstalled it twice and downloaded again. Waiting a day in between just to make sure. I can't get into facebook and receive all my features using explorer. Please help....right now I have a quarter page of msn, tried pulling it larger but only moves several inches. Please help.
